SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 51?,971, dated April 10, I894.

Application filed July 12. 1893. SerialNo.480,208. (Nomotleld To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, -WILLIAM H. BRIDGMAN, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Razor-Wipers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in razor wipers in which. provision is made for wiping the lather from razors of different widths and whether the sides be straight or concave, without danger of dulling or turning theedge of the razor, and the wiper itself being of such structure that it may be readily cleansed and re-usedat pleasure.

A practical embodiment of myinvention is represented in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a face view of the wiper. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal transverse section through line cc, w of Fig. l and Fig. 3 is a transverse section through line 3 y of Fig. l.

The handle and backforthe supportof the wiping material may be in a single piece and may consist of wood or any suitable material,

being preferably of the general shape of the back and handleof the ordinary hair brush. In the present instance the handle is denoted by A and the back which forms a support for the wiping material is-denoted by a. The face of the support a is provided with a layer ofsoft rubber, denoted by B and secured to the support a by cement or other well known or approved means. The face of the rubber layer B is provided with longitudinal grooves b preferably of V-shape in cross section, the material between the grooves extending to an edge I) at its outer extremity. The face. of the material B is further provided with transverse grooves b also preferably of V-shaped versely across the edges b the backof the razor resting in one of the cross grooves so as to bring the edges b into close contact with the side of the razor blade'to wipe it clean.

The structure will be found eminently feast ble in effectually wiping the lather from the side of the blade, no matter whether the side be straight or concave, since the edges 1) between two consecutive cross grooves will readily adapttthemselves to the concavity of the razor. I

After use the wiper may be readily cleaned by placing it under a spigot offiowing water or dashing water onto it when it may be laid away for further use, as occasion may require.

It is obvious that various forms of wipers of different widths maybe constructed without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, hence I do not wish to limit'myself strictly to the form and size herein shown and described, but

What I claim is- 1. A razor wiper, comprising a sheet of yielding material impervious to water and provided with longitudinal and transverse corrugations, consecutive transverse corrugations being at different distances apart, substantially as set forth.

2. The razor wiper comprising a sheet of yielding non absorbent material providedwith a handle, longitudinal corrugations in the face of said yielding material and transverse corrugations across the face of said material, consecutive transverse corrugations being at different distances apart, substan-
